    If your dyson DC04 is cutting in and out as you vacuum it is likely to be a fault in the cord as it enters the vacuum. This video will show you how to repair the cord and get your Dyson working again. In most cases you can simply shorten the cord as in this video. However if you would like to repelace it completely for peace of mind or because you would like a longer cord you could use a cord like this one part # 33200055

    Thank you so much for posting this! My power cord had exposed wire that I've used electrical tape on and that wasn't holding anymore. I watched this several times, pausing as I fixed mine and the vacuum cord looks great and best of all, works. You saved me a lot of money should I have gone to a repair shop. All I spent was $3.23 for connectors. Thanks again!

    Another great DC04 resurrection video, hehehehe! I've done this a couple of times as despite the "strain relief boot" the cable still does have a nasty habit of suffering from fatigue fracture in that spot. My cable is now a fair bit shorter but fixed for nothing!

    Thanks Alec - successfully followed and money saved. The reconnection/reassembly was a little fiddly and we took a photo of it all before to make sure we got the wires in the right positions so that the on/off switch relocated snuggly.

    Thanks lads great video which was straight to the point and easy to follow.

    Very helpful instructions which enabled me to get our DC04 operational again. However, a couple of suggestions:
    1. The yellow power button on ours simply wouldn't budge, despite me having the prescribed removal tool for the job! I, therefore, bought a replacement (easily sourced and cheap) and simply drilled the old button out. Shouldn't have been necessary and it takes a bit of care but it then came out easily.
    2. Before replacing the yellow button, test the vacuum first. If you put the yellow button back before testing, you've then got the removal hassle all over again if it's still not working. One of the spade connectors that I hadn't been working on had pulled loose during the rewiring process and, hence the machine didn't at first work. Checking to find where the fault might be was an easy task before everything was reassembled.

    I knew there must be a way! I called the Dyson helpline but they wouldn't help due to it involving the electrics! After watching your video I had it mended in 10 minutes. Many thanks.

    Great video. Tried to do this once before but couldn't figure out how to remove the switch button. This video was easy to follow.. I have had this fault 4 times now (3 x professionally repaired) so it's great to be able to do it myself.

    Finally I can have a longer cord. No more extension cord connection catching on corners. 15 meters, you beaut. I just ignored/cut the earth cable as it was not needed.

    They charge £25 in the UK for this.
    Getting the yellow switch off can be a pain, but they only cost a few quid if the worst comes to the worst.

    Hi Alec, great video and I'm going to have a go of this myself. Do those shielded spade connectors need to be a particular size? I'm going to need to buy myself a pack, and I've noticed they come in different sizes. Cheers Paul (Liverpool, UK)
